I think Blade is the Daddy on this subject, What an opening, it made me want to be a vampire.

(I haven't got the immortal bit quite right yet, but I am drinking two pints of Iranian monkey blood a day)

Anyway, what is the best opening sequence in a film?, lets have a heated debate.

"F*** you!"

"I'm feelin' kind of tired, I could use a foot massage right now."

"F*** YOU!"

Pulp Fiction, no special effects no nothing, just a normal scene which is so damn good, makes you want to watch the rest of the film.

If the motivation speech at the beginning of Glengarry Glenroos counts as a beginning sequence (it's about 5 to 10 minutes in) then that just takes the title. Damn that film is good.

Other than Star Wars it has to be The Matrix - That intro was just spectacular!!

The TWINE intro is great, as is Tommorrow Never Dies. However, the intro to Lord of the Rings is the best. Haven't seen it yet, but it has to be, otherwise I impale Peter Jacksons testicles on a stick.

On second thoughts, You are right. I totally forgot, but it all comes flooding back now. Star Wars is fantastic, I think the music is amazing.

Really, really cool explosion.........
Ball bearing flying all over the place.


If I really had to be honest about one of the best opening sequences in a film, it would have to be the modern version of Romeo and Juliet.......

Okay, it may be because I was young and easily impressionable, but...

Star Wars


At the cinema when the film was first released, when the Imperial Star Destroyer comes looming into view, chasing Princess Leia's ship.

I saw that with my mum and dad at the Odeon, Leicester Square, London. The volume was loud and the whole theatre rumbled. Fan-bloody-tastic, and in my view, never beaten.
